Flint Died I need New Device

I see that you bought a Flint 2, but you have not fixed your real problem. What you need for travel is redundancy and to get rid of any single point of failure, like having only 1 remote router. Remember that any single device or location can fail or go offline. Having multiple routers at multiple s

Community GL.iNet Firmware Mirror now available!

I just took a look. Great work. Thank you for doing this! As there are issues with 4.x in some of the older routers like the AR300M, AR750, AR750s, and MT300N-V2, is there any chance of adding in the Legacy 3.x code, at least the versions that GL iNet has on their site, so they are not lost to futur

Questions on VPN Tunnel & Planning

Before spending money on a new router to use as a VPN server, check your uplink speed. Your uplink speed at the VPN server will be your maximum downlink speed to your remote router. Some cable and 5G home internet providers have great download speeds but poor upload speeds, like 500 Mbps down and 35

Yet another cruise ship connection question

I have friends and family who let me put VPN servers in their houses/Apt. I pay for the routers, I manage them, and give them accounts on them, so they can also remotely use their home IP address when traveling. Most of them are GL iNet AR300M routers, running OpenWrt. Not fast, but cheap and depend

cheapest two items of hardware for semi-permanent point to point VPN

If you are looking for cheap and reliable, go with a pair of AR300M16. Unlike the Opel, it has great support for OpenWrt, so you will have an option for firmware with security fixes after GL iNet drops their support, and it's a bit faster than the Mango, at around the same price. Set it up with Wire

Coffee for Wanda?

GL.iNet AR300M16-Ext (Shadow) it’s a mobile travel router with two wife dongles added to it. Here’s the you tube video I built it off of. https://youtu.be/67sGUzKJ8IU?si=t3ZmGzHVRHRj0-BE really fun project and way cheaper then that cheapest pineapple.

Mango V2 vs Shadow

If you look at the specs the AR300M16 is slightly faster and supports EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). The MT300N-V2 uses a proprietary WIFI driver and does not support EAP. I own multiple AR300M routers, and I would not buy an MT300N V2 because there is no real reason to choose a slower an

Mini as Primary Internet Backup with Unifi Equipment

I have it on my truck and use a GL-AR300M16 on my 2nd wan on a UDM router. The GL-AR300M16 will connect to the mini on the truck when I'm in range and use it as fallover. I have a solar on my truck with a controller that shuts it off if the batteries get anywhere near low.It works really well, I've

Stock vs OpenWrt firmware for GL-MT300N V2 (Mango)

Fair. I suppose I landed here because the mango was on my list for vanilla openwrt devices for a project to put a mesh around my small farm so I was projecting my intentions for the mango. I decided on the gl-ar300m16-ext though because the external antennae and hope it works as intended. It is true

Not Getting IPV6 on Mobile even when ISP has enabled it. RA not honoured.

Don't bother. Building firmware from sources provided by a manufacturer is basically nearly impossible. They never include the full sources, just the GPL'ed components there of. Unless software engineering is your full time job, and this is the sort of hacking you enjoy, and you've got plenty of tim
